Item Description

PLEASE NOTE: This piece came labeled as a Gold from Leadville, and while we believe the locality is correct, it is partially oxidized in areas, which is not typical for Gold, so it could be a mixture with Silver or possibly Copper, but it's difficult to say for certain without analysis. The piece features pair of diverging "arms" with a bit of associated Quartz. An interesting an aesthetic thumbnail from this famous mining district. From the collection of Gary Weaver of Prescott, Arizona (1944-2019). Gary was an electrical engineer who worked for many years for Hughes Aircraft in California.
